Title: Desktop Calendars
Post by: CptTrips on December 19, 1999, 04:59:00 PM

Every month I generate a desktop wallpaper image for my squad consisting of an aviation type image with the monthly calendar.  All of last years calendars depicted WWI aircraft.  This next year is going to be all WWII aircraft and air combat.  In addition to our squadron calendar I also put one up that has everything on it but out squad logo for other squads or pilots who want to put their own logo on it for their own machine.  If anyone would like to check out January's cal it can be found at:

or

depending on what resolution you prefer.

enjoy,

Then right click on the file you want and "save as".  Depends on your browser.

Dude, cool calendar!
Here is a suggestion: Instead of making it a BMP, you can make it a JPG.

Use a program like "Fighting Birds of World War II" a Smithsonian Institution Screen Saver & Wallpaper for Windows program, by Second Nature Software Inc.

I found this jewel at Egghead software for under $15. What it does is brings up the JPG, coverts it to BMP and loads it into your desktop. I have 50 plus jpgs of A/C and am only using under 3 megs! It has mass settings and you can set up rotating wall paper and use your calendar as a screenscaver.

I have scraped all the pic's that came with it, some were lame. (most of mine are 51's)

Clicking on Wabit's link got a blank page indicating the domain name was taken by someone. Perhaps they lost the web address.
